Wrong as usual. The planet has been cooling for the past 3,000 years.

Does this theory explain the WIDE LOADS we see cruising through Walmart on scooters?

...– the only way that you can explain baleen whales becoming the giants they are today is if something changed in the recent past ...

It's true. Back in the days of whaling, in Melville's day, whales were actually no bigger than a good sized trout. That's the real reason it took them as long as three years to fill the holds with whale oil.

LOL. So they are whales, and they ADAPTED to their environment. Just like anything else does; and has done since creation.

""With these rapid changes, does the ocean have the capacity to sustain several billion people and the world's largest whales?"

Bottom line: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE BECAUSE WHALES ARE (supposedly) BIGGER THAN EVER SO AS NOT TO LEAVE ROOM FOR HUMANS! Last I checked, whales live in the oceans and humans live on land. Are they going to evolve so as to create a whale tsunami that crushes our coastal cities? Solution: go whale hunting or ignore the latest anti-human screed from pseudo-scientists.

We were all gonna die from the following scientific theories:
1. Alternating current will kill if used for industry;
2. Direct current is the future;
3. Surviving the coming Ice Age;
4. Nature v Nurture (young boys and girls are the same);
5. Alcar will kill us all if you eat apples;
6. The disappearing ozone layer is the end;
7. Billions will die from the Population Explosion;
8. Black holes are real;
9. Black holes are theory and unproven;
10.Human caused global warming will eliminate the artic ice by 2010;
11.A new Ice Age may be approaching;

Feel free to add any unproven hypothesis by the experts.

No, but according to these brainiacs, you will be a 25' giant in no time.

Yes, unless we are hit by a big asteroid, Yellowstone erupts, space aliens invade, or Democrats win lots of elections./s

These folks can pull anything out of their arse. Anything. Honestly, this is way beyond differences of political opinion. This is truly delusional, insanity. They answer the unknowable with hubris and fantasies.
